virus in check. the endless beaches of france and the majestic mountains of austria in any normal summer german tourists love to head for these and many other european beauty spots but because of the corona virus the route to germany's neighbors has been blocked at the borders for many the pandemic has given travel a new importance. just gets a lot of courses about our health all around the world but they can't take away our freedom to travel and not because of corona or an economic crisis and of the tough to do that but in front of i'd like to go to spain i don't yet know if that's possible it depends if the spanish open their border at the moment there's no sign maybe we'll know in 4 weeks if you will. but there is a sign from the german government how it plans to reopen its frontiers the border with belgium and the netherlands was never closed from today police will not patrol

the luxemburg border either to the north denmark has said it is willing in principle to allow the traffic to flow but needs more time to work out the details germany's borders with france austria and switzerland have been seeing a loosening of restrictions that means that here at the austrian german border anyone with family or property on the other side may now cross over and if there's no major new spread of the virus the checks will be completely lifted in mid june the borders with poland and the czech republic have not been closed by germany but rather by the governments in warsaw and prague berlin is hoping to persuade them to open their front tiers that the uncertainty has made some germans rethink their plans these things that i think i'll just work on this summer and then go away in the autumn i hope i won't take a holiday this year it makes no sense because. there's still a long way to go until europe's vacation hot spots are crowded but now germans at

a good reason to enter the country because that's what people still need but now they're only pulling over cars at random so every once in a while they're checking someone. if they country and and if they'll let them through beslan you just made a quick reference to what some of the requirements are and i imagine not everyone can cross what are some of the restrictions that will remain in place. right so there are still restrictions and. so up to now it was just people who commuted for work for example who got to enter the country now changed a little bit. but for example one of visit family members they can enter now too if they have real estate on the other side of the border that they need to attend to for example because it's been it's been sitting there for a while and they need to take care of it then they are allowed to enter to now the thing is basically it's up to the border patrol police to see if these

if these reasons are good enough for the people to enter the country. f. the percent them and make the case make make your case. and they'll decide in the end if they'll let you in if they believe you if it's credible that they tell me they have a lot of experience doing that to figure out if the stories that people tell them are true or not that's correspondent hartig with the latest from the german austrian border thank you boston. brazil's new health minister has quit after less than a month on the job his departure comes as the crow virus pandemic rages in the country with hospitals overwhelmed in several cities despite the spread of covert 19 brazil's far right president. continues to downplay the virus and opposes lockdown measures. as brazil struggles to fight the pandemic the country has become
